I am interested in working for the government...so I feel that American would have the most opportunities and be the best choice in this sense, buuuut I eventually want to settle down in the Bay Area. Maybe not RIGHT after law school, but I do want to raise my family here..which probably wont be for another 10 years.... Also Im still waiting on Hastings, but its not looking too good :/ Thoughts please?

Federal government? American may be worth it. State/local? Go to school where you want to practice.
